abstract
| - You Only Live Twice (1967) is the fifth spy film in the James Bond series, and the fifth to star Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film's screenplay was written by Roald Dahl, and loosely based on Ian Fleming's 1964 novel of the same name. It is the first James Bond film to discard most of Fleming's plot, using only a few characters and locations from the book as the background for an entirely new story. In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet manned spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit. With each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War, Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island in order to find the perpetrators and comes face to face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE. The film reveals the appearance of Blofeld who was previously a partially unseen character. SPECTRE is extorting the government of an unnamed Asian power, implied to be the People's Republic of China, in order to provoke war between the superpowers.[1][2] During the filming in Japan, it was announced that Sean Connery would retire from the role of Bond. But after a hiatus, he returned in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever and later 1983's non-Eon Bond film Never Say Never Again. You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me and the 1979 film Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore. You Only Live Twice was a great success, receiving positive reviews and grossing over $111 million in worldwide box office. You Only Live Twice has subsequently been parodied, most prominently by the Austin Powers series and its scar-faced, Nehru suit-wearing Dr. Evil.
- Following the success of Thunderball, United Artists requested yet another Bond film to be released. The screenplay was adapted at random from one of three final novels written by Ian Fleming (a three-headed coin was flipped) in an relatively short 12 minutes by the half-dozen illegal aliens working as Cary Grant's gardeners. Starting mostly from scratch, these illegals crafted together one of the longest and most elaborate 007 films of the Sean Connery era; the film was not an semi-travelogue like its predecessor, Thunderball, yet was nowhere near as true to its source novel as its subsequent prequel, On His Majesty's Secret Service. After the last film's horrendous shoot, the producers quickly scrounged around for another director. Thunderball producer Jimmy Page was working on another project at the time, but referred United Artists to Fritz Lang, mostly because he drunkenly believed the film to be the sequel to Lang's earlier crime drama You Only Live Once. John Carpenter, having worked intermittently on the previous Bond film, was angered to be left out of the loop yet again, but agreed not to spread any negative publicity in exchange for a co-producer's credit alongside Albert R. Broccoli. Douglas Rain, the unseen portrayer of evil villain Blofeld in both From Russia with Love and Thunderball, was also dropped; albeit halfway through filming, as Rain contracted laryngitis and could not deliver the dialogue with his signature voice. Since United Artists could not be bothered to wait until the actor's throat healed (even though director Lang instisted on letting Rain recuperate), they dismissed him from both the set and the role, and sent off a telegram to filmmaker George Stevens, who was having trouble with his big-budget Bible picture, asking him if there were any actors on his production he could afford to send to YOLT's shoot for a week. Within two days, Donald Pleasence had arrived at the studios, and filming was back on track. Sean Connery was also willing to take part in the film, but only if he was let go after production ended; ironically, he would come back less than a decade later for his sixth and final Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever.
